The wealth of Khadijah and the 1MIP (1 Malaysia..surprise)

In one kuliah with Ustaz Zulkifli Ismail (Pondok Sungai Udang, Melaka), he told us about the total wealth owned by Siti Khadijah R.A is about 40 X (where X is an Arabic term that I forgot =.=, but 1 X equal the amount of treasure a few man can lift). Ustaz give a simplification that 1 X is equal to 100kg of gold.

On 26 September, the day this post is being written, 1 gram of gold is equal to RM 138.00 (http://publicgold.com.my/v1/). So 100 kg of gold is RM 13.8 million and 40 X is RM 552 Million so that's about RM 0.5 Billion, surprising since during the kuliah we counted it to be RM 50 million+ and ustaz takes it to consider the minimum of her wealth to be RM 50 million, did I just did a wrong calculation?

Keep in mind that this is during that times and she is considered to be among the wealthiest person in Mecca. So, to consider nowadays probable amount, we check Forbes :

1) Average wealth of top 10 Malaysian Billionaire = 5.48 Billion USD = 17.83 Billion RM

2) Average wealth of top 10 World Billionaire = 53.48 Billion USD = 174.02 Billion RM

Just imagine what her wealth would be if we consider the current amount.

Now, let's take the smallest amount, Saidatina Khadijah Radiallahu Anha has RM 50 million, which she uses fully to support our prophet Muhammad S.A.W that when Bani Abdul Muttalib and Bani Hashim is being boycotted, she also has to eat grass, roots, etc.

What's the point here?

I would like to introduce 1MIP (1MillionInfaqPlan) which is probably unobtainable T_T.

Imagine if during our lifetime we want to infaq RM 1 million to Islam, let's suppose we start by the age of 25, when we start working until our mandatory pension at the age of 55. How much do we need to infaq every month?

30 year = 12 month x 30 = 360 month.

So RM 1 million divided by 360 month = RM 2777.78 or 

RM 2800 EVERY MONTH, thats already beyond our wage! 

That's to infaq RM 1 million which is at most just 2% of what Saidatina Khadijah Radiallahu Anha gives for Islam. Can we do it, to infaq RM 1 million by the time we retire?

Make a plan for it.

3 perkara yang diharapkan dari taqwa kepada Allah S.W.T

1) Taufiq untuk melakukan amalan.

2) Dapat melakukan amalan yang sempurna.

3) Diterima amalan oleh Allah S.W.T.

 Tiada siapa dapat melakukan amalan kecuali dengan taufik dari Allah, maka tiada hairan akan orang yang abid, yang alim, yang rajin beribadah kembali melakukan maksiat melainkan kerana tiadanya taufik dari Allah. Dan tiadalah ini berlaku oleh kerana ketetapan Allah semata-mata melainkan pasti kerana ada kekurangan-kekurangan tertentu pada pelakunya.


Hatta untuk menyebut semudah-mudah zikir Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, La Ilaha Illa Allah, Allahuakbar pun jika tiada taufik dari Allah pasti tidak dapat melakukannya.

Kerana melakukan amalan kebaikan, zikir itu menjadi makanan rohani, makanan kepada roh. Sesungguhnya makanan jasmani (rezeki) itu semuanya sudah ditetapkan oleh Allah akan tetapi inilah yang dicari-cari dan dirisaukan oleh kebanyakan manusia. Namun makanan rohani itu tiada ditetapkan begitu sahaja melainkan perlu kepada ikhtiar yang lebih dari seseorang itu.
